It is really useful to have all of the witnesses in the room together. My questions are mainly for Irish Water, but I have one question for ESB Networks. We had an outage across north Mayo for nearly 24 hours last week and the outages seem to be more frequent. What is the reason for that? Many households are left without light, heat and water. A lot of food in fridges and freezers had to be disposed of. What assurances can ESB Networks give to households and businesses? What is in place when people lose out on so much?
